How long should I endure my job?


I am a recent college grad in finance. I worked really hard during school, got good grades and interned for a fancy global company. After graduating I had the though time looking for a job.

The credit union I work for seems to experience a lot of turnover and its not just the tellers but higher positions as well. One of our mortgage specialist left after 3 months and one of our central operation specialist left before her 3 month probation.

With the branch falling apart it would be stupid on their part to lay me off but maybe getting laid off is not a bad thing on my part.
